UNITED STATES JOSEPH GOSSNER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

Application led February 20, 1922. Serial No. 537,803.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH GossNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Smokers Sets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in a smokers set 1o which when all its arts are assembled becomes an ornamenta stand and can, if desired, be also used as a paper-weight. The set comprises an ash-receiver provided with displaceable cigar-rests and a displaceable match-holder, and a cigar-cutter. The ashreceiver forms the base of the stand and is arran ed to carry the foot of the cigarcutter w ich is enclosed in a column. The cigar-cutter is operated by a stem which may 2o be shaped as a flag-statt, or may be of any other desired design.

In the appended drawing I have shown, by way of example, two embodiments of my invention. Fig. l is an elevation of a complete set with its parts fully assembled;

Fig. 2 is a vertical section along line 2 2 in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a horizontal section along line 3 3 in Fig. 2; Fig. 4 shows one construction of the ash-receiver with the cigarrests and match-holder; Fig. 5 shows another ash-receiver construction; Fig. 6 is a section along line 6 6 and Fig. 7 a section along line 7 7 in Fig. 5. Fig. 8 shows the detachable match-holder used on the ash-receiver shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 9

one of the detachable cigar-rests.

As shown in Fig. 1, the set with all its parts assembled represents an ornamental stand of graceful outlines, the base 1 being formed by the ash-receiver, the column 2 being formed by the cigar-cutter, and the flag-steif 3 being formed by the stem attached to the cigar-cutter for operating it. The cigar-cutter forming the column 2 comrises as shown by the sectional view of Fig. 2 a hollow foot 4, a tube 5 of cylindrical or other desired shape, and the cuttin member 6 provided with the cutting edges Connected to the cutting-member, by screwthreads, or otherwise, is the stem 3, Whereby the cutting-member can be depressed against the tension of a helical spring 8, which, with its lower end, abuts against the foot 4, bearing with its upper end against the bottom of the cutting-member forcing the same to its normal position shown in Fig. 2. The tube 5 is preferably provided in its walls, with two round openings 9, 10 through which are introduced the tips ot the cigars to be cut, one of the said openings being smaller than the other opening to enable cigars of different sizes to be cut. The cutting-member 6 can be turned within the tube 5, so that the cutting edges 7 will register with either opening 9 or opening 10. The cigar tips fall upon the bottom of the tube 5, which sits upon the hollow foot 4, in which latter is provided an opening 11 through which the cigar tips can be emptied out ot' the tube from time to time. The opening 11 is usually held closed by a stopper 12 of cork, or any7 other suitable material. The upper end of tube 5 is provided with screw-threads 13, adapted to be engaged by an internally threaded cap 14. When cap 14 is unscrewed. the cuttingmember (i, as will be readilyr understood, can be lifted out of the tube 5, and if re-y quired, can be replaced by u fresh cuttingmember. As shown in Fig. 2, the cuttingmember is screwed to the lower end of the stem 3, so that it can be readily detached. The hollow foot 4 fits snugly onto the base 1, and by a slight relative turn, these parts can be easily separated. The base 1 constitutes an ash-receiver, two constructions being shown, by way of example. one in Figs. 2 and 4. and another one in Figs. 5. V and 7. Both ash-receivers are provided with cigar-rests and a match-holder. According to Figs. 2 and 4, the cigar-rests 15, 16 and the match-holder 17 are hinged to the inner wall of the ash-receiver so as to be foldable inside into the ash-receiver, when the latter is not in use, as illustrated in Fig. 2. A

In the construction shown in Figs. 5 7, the cigar-rests 18, 19 and the match-holder 20 are provided with pins adapted to be inserted into corresponding small sockets 21 in the upper edge of the ash-receiver. The match-holder 20 is provided with two pins 22, 23 of equal length, whereas the cigarrests 1S, 19 have two pins 24, 25, of which the latter is shorter than the pin 24, as it serves onlyv as an abutment bearing against the outer wall ot' the ash-receiver to prevent the cigar-rest from turning on its other pin 24. To facilitate the cleaning of the ash-receiver, a glass-tray is placed in the receiver, which tray in the embodiment according to Figs. 2 and L reaches all the Way down to the bottom of VtheV ashreceiver and is permanently held therein. According to Figs. 5-7, the ash-receiver l is provided on its inner Wall, near its bot` tom, with small brackets 27 for supporting the glass-tray in the ash-receiver with its bottom `spaced apart from the bottom of the ash-receiver sufficiently to afford space for storing therein the cigar-rests and the match-holder, after the saine have been removed from their service positions (see Fig. 7). In this embodiment, the glass-tray can be removed from the ash-receiver.

The match-holders 17 and 20 areV preferebly mede to hold e Het package of papermatches, Which package can be easily slipped in and out of the grooved arms, 28, 29 (Fig. 8) to be replaced by a fresh eokege.

It gees Without szyingi tet; tle various parts of the set can be given any desired sha e and design to make the set attractive to t e eye.

I claim as my invention:

A smokers set, comprising an ash recepta` ele, a plurality of cigar rests mounted on the edge of said receptacle in such a Way as to be movable from operative position to a position Within said receptacle, and a cover fitting on said receptacle when said cigar rests are stored Within the same.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

JOSEPH GOS SNER.
